Charming Windsor Terrace Home Near Prospect Park
Welcome to 57 East 2nd Street, a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated two-unit townhouse currently configured as a spacious single-family residence in the heart of Windsor Terrace. Nestled on a serene block between two of Brooklyn's most treasured green spaces - Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery - this 2,226-square-foot home offers a rare blend of tranquility, history, and versatility. With an alleyway leading to the backyard, a 20-foot-wide interior, and a lot size of 22.42" x 100', this 2,226-square-foot home is filled with charm, sunlight, and possibility.
From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch with its garden bench sets a peaceful tone.

The layout spans five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with bay windows in both the front living room and the sunlit primary bedroom. A striking stained glass skylight feature, flood the upper floor with natural light. A back porch opens to a lush, private garden anchored by a beautiful dogwood tree, azaleas, irises, roses, hosta, peonies, hydrangeas, - an ideal space for quiet mornings or casual gatherings.
The full basement houses laundry and offers a blank canvas for additional living space-perfect for a rec room. Mechanical systems are in good condition, with a relatively new boiler.
Set in an exceptionally walkable neighborhood, you're just moments from local favorites including bistros, coffee shops, a yoga studio, Food Town, and the Prospect Park Tennis Center. Transportation is easy with nearby subway lines, bus service, and CitiBike access.
